Cat's Menace

This game was a lot of fun to play in front of my stream audience, however playing it by myself without friends would have been a rather miserable experience, I'm afraid. The game has no save or checkpoint system, so when you have a Game Over, you have to start the entire game over from the beginning. The game operates by having you assign a cat to a task and making choices to decide whether the cats succeed or fail in the mission. The choices have no logic behind them, so it's a coin flip in deciding if you lose the cat you assigned or not. Also, it doesn't seem to matter which cats you assign to the mission. They're essentially just very cute life counters. The only way to get through the game is to be very lucky, or to do multiple playthroughs, memorizing which choices are correct and which are incorrect. The English translation is pretty bad as well, but it was fun reading it on stream and laughing when we came across the mistakes, but I have a feeling that's not something that the creators of the game would like to be a positive feature. Also, some of the text disappears so quickly in transitional menus that you can't read it all. I don't recommend this game - it's a f…

The English translation leaves much to be desired. There is no indication about the consequences of any choices you make, there are two options given and seemingly the only way to get through the game is to memorize the correct ones.

So, I'm going to be honest and say, I LOVE CATS... Now, when I then looked at the "Similar to games you've played: The Witcher 3 and Portal 2" I was ready for this game to BLOW. MY. MIND. Spoiler alert: It did not... The other reviews are spot on: - English translation is bad, even to the point where some things doesn't make sense - It's game over pretty easily and you have no idea what would be the right answer to the events you're prompted with - When you get a game over, you start over from the beginning - so it becomes a pattern of blindly guessing what's right and having to remember every right answer to get further in the game. Which gets boring and annoying very fast. On the plus side, the artwork of the cats are cute...

The English translation is poor and you're essentially making choices at random and then trying to memorize which ones are correct. Based on the tags, I would love this game... except the tags are a bit lofty for what the game actually is. I'm getting a refund.
